@BeAware @Blaze @fediverse There's a small number of self-hosted personal PDSes (https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses), but the system isn't really open yet to running larger ones with open signup. The Bluesky Relay doesn't currently accept more than 10 users on one PDS (with exceptions like Bridgy).
Technically anyone can run a parallel Relay and/or AppView, and hopefully that will happen, but nobody has done it yet so far (Whitewind/Frontpage are kind of different services on the same protocol).
@Blaze @ada @fediverse There is a small number of personal PDSes, plus Bridgy's one: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/pdses, but right now there aren't really any public open-signup ones, because they're limiting them to 10 users per PDS in this phase (I mean you can create more, but they won't be seen by the Bluesky relay). They implied that the network/software is not yet ready for this yet at this point, because a lot of things are still in flux (e.g. they're adding OAuth now).
